Description

On 16 November 2010 ECN, the Dutch centre for research and development in the field of energy, announced it will cut 100 jobs, out of a total of 700. The research centre has to implement austerity measures due to the cut in government spending on sustainable energy. Forced dismissals are not ruled out.
